jewelry shoot

I've been so dang blessed in my photography journey; even how I got my camera is a total God thing, a story that still gives me goosebumps every time I think about it. I'll have to tell it to you one day. Anyway, I was in church this Sunday, chatting with a photographer (whose work I've been drooling over forever) when all of a sudden she said, "Hey, I'm doing a shoot today. Want to come?" 

Um, yes. 

It was a product shoot for Cotton Dahlia , a jewelry company where all of the products are made by women rescued from sex-trafficking. I love that. It was a long day of shooting, but seriously the most fun I've had in a long time. The girls were as sweet as they were beautiful and getting to work with Christina and watch her shoot was a dream. Also - it was so nice to shoot just for fun (and also practice on someone other than my poor husband.) If there's one thing I've learned in my photography journey so far (besides, you know, how to take pictures), it's that you jump at every opportunity that comes your way.

Also, be sure to take a minute to check out Cotton Dahlia and their gorgeous jewelry. xo
